When I became successful, I put up a caution. I didn't think it was fair to have the shadow of that kind of success thrown on my family. And I was cautious about being taken by things that could destroy you.

As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family.

I always felt that I had anxiety of survival in terms of livelihood even when I was making plenty of money.

Fear of failure held me back from being a DIYer for many years, especially after a few early attempts at home improvement projects went awry.

Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of courage, hard-work and individual responsibility. Despite what some would have us believe, success is not built on resentment and fears.

After 'Born to Run,' I had a reaction to my good fortune. With success, it felt like a lot of people who'd come before me lost some essential part of themselves. My greatest fear was that success was going to change or diminish that part of myself.

Successful people have a bigger fear of failure than people who've never done anything because if you haven't been successful, then you don't know how it feels to lose it all.

I think I was so successful, not because I was brilliant, but because I was so young. I had no fear of consequences.

When I was young, I was just about hard work. But as I got older, I did experience anxiety, doubt, judgment, and it's so easy to lose yourself for a second.
